Anyone visiting Texel really shouldn't skip a trip to the Texelse Bierbrouwerij in Oudeschild. Since 1999, beers have been brewed here that embody the true island feeling. Using pure Texel dune water, local barley and a healthy dose of craftsmanship, iconic beers like Skuumkoppe, Stormbock, Springtij and Texels Tripel are created. Every beer breathes Texel: robust, quirky and full of character, just like the island itself.
The brewery has grown from an artisan site to a household name far beyond the Wadden Sea, but the Texel mentality has always remained the same. Here, beer is still brewed by hand, tasted and adjusted by brewers who know their beer inside out.
Want to truly take a look behind the scenes? Then book De Texels Beleving: a guided tour where you will hear how the beer is brewed, see the impressive brewing kettles up close, take in the scent of malt and hops and discover the history of beer on Texel. An experience that stimulates all your senses and is perfect to combine with a day at the beach or a cycling trip.
Conclude your visit with a tasting in the atmospheric tasting room, where you can sample the rich flavours that have made the brewery famous – from fresh and blond to bold and dark – under expert guidance. On sunny days, take a seat on the buzzing outdoor terrace, right between the hop vines.
And if you can't decide? Take a nice gift pack home with you, so the Texel holiday spirit continues to echo in your glass for a while longer.
